A few hours on the arm.

[Spahill]

Some decent weather at last... spent a few hours out on the Arm hoping for a few bites.
Fished from 9 till 2 right over low water.
No bites for the first half hour using worm, so I put some herring from the freezer on & was imediately rewarded with a nibble.
A whiting of about 8oz, as soon as it was back in the water the light rod was nodding away and this resulted in a small rockling (5b). Whiting prooved to be the most prevcelant of fishes throughout the day mainly around half a pound with the best not quite nudging the pound. Sporadically other species would show Had a pouting on worm & two dabs on the herring.




As the tide started to flood the dogfish started to show, they put up a good fight on the light rod (10 ft Kingfisher float, think it came from Argos)

Later start tomorrow so I will probably hit the beach, have heard on some turbos showing, couldn't fail on them last year.

Didn'r renew I got a long arm one, fishing a lot more awkward, no good in icy/windy weather & dangerous when wet or swells, but at least there are some fish.
